The story serves as a backdrop for a card-based combat system, where players engage in mining, trading, and completing missions to enhance their decks and defeat increasingly challenging enemies. While the gameplay mechanics are diverse and engaging, some players find the narrative progression slow, with many still exploring the story after significant playtime. Overall, the focus remains on deck-building and resource management rather than a deep narrative experience.
- “Adventure across stations, complete missions, battle enemies, upgrade parts, trade, mine, and craft materials.”
- “Ultimately, the veneer of mining, trading, crafting, and missions has just one purpose - manufacture more and more cards for your deck so you can defeat enemies who have progressively better decks than yours.”
- “I had not expected to be able to play that long for that low price and still haven't finished the story.”
